Welcome to the Signal to Noise blog!

Greetings, and welcome to the new Signal to Noise blog! This will be an online repository of news and commentary built and maintained by the Signal to Noise writing staff. SIGNAL to NOISE is a nationally distributed, quarterly publication focusing on the confluence of avant-garde jazz, electro-acoustic improvisation and left-of-center modern rock, with an emphasis on independent production and promotion. Featuring a vibrant mix of seasoned music writers and new, previously unpublished voices, STN has been nominated by UTNE Magazine for “Best Arts And Creativity Coverage” in their 2004 Independent Press Awards, as “Zine of the Year” at 2007’s Plug Independent Music Awards, and four years running as “Best Periodical Covering Jazz” by the Jazz Journalists Association. Each issue of STN mixes in-depth features on the most significant and cutting-edge creative musicians with original, exclusive photography and hundreds of reviews of the season’s key concerts, books, and recorded music in all formats from CD to DVD to LP to MP3. All of the content is exclusive to STN's print edition ... this blog is meant to serve only a supplementary function. Hope you'll stop by frequently!
